David Lynch’s films are simply awful. Nevertheless, he is a genius. Not in terms of film making but in terms of being able to convince so many idiots that his crap films are something special.

“Don’t embarrass yourself”

But seriously I’d assumed an “intellect” such as yourself could at least understand Lynch’s filmmaking.

Video Games - a general discussion thread

Fallout 4 is definitely the way to go. The amount of stuff you can do in that game is mind-boggling and mods are now available on the console versions.

I agree that Fallout 3 sets a way better atmosphere and I think it also has a better story. Fallout: New Vegas has a nice blue sky and everything has colour rather than a green tint. It shouldn’t even be a debate though because they’re all great.

I tried playing the original fallout games because I got them on the cheap on steam but I didn’t really get into them.

Inside Llewyn Davis 7.5/10

Really well done and has some very funny moments but sadly becomes a sadder and sadder movie rather than the typical rags to riches storyline.

Looper 8/10

Just ignore time travelling paradoxes and have a good time!

Batman: The Killing Joke 5/10

Skip the first 27 minutes and you have a decent show. It still doesn’t capture some of the greater moments in the comics though.

Sin City 3/10

Ugh, I’d rather watch Spy Kids. I know it’s based on Frank Miller’s comic but as a film it doesn’t work at all for me.

I think it’s better than a 3, but that stupid story with the killer whores really does bring the movie down.

The only part that I liked was the opening scene, after that it was all stylistic plotless bullshit.

Bridge of Spies 8/10

Tropic Thunder 7/10

Gladiator 8/10

Pulp Fiction 9/10

War Dogs 8.5/10

Really shocked by this one. It was much more serious than I expected and the performances were excellent all around. The editing was also something worth noting, the way they edit together meetings and other boring stuff is so perfect. To me it was like a shorter version of The Wolf of Wall Street except the protagonist isn’t a complete asshole and still turns out to be a genuine guy.

Also would you be able to edit Qui Gon into Anakin’s father to remove the virgin birth?

I’m removing th e virgin birth but no, I’m not able to do that unless there’s some material out there that would allow me to. I would have to explain that they’ve both met before and I just don’t see how that’s doable. Not to mention it kinda sounds weird 😕

…and it’s bad enough that poor Shmi was left in the clutches of Watto by Anakin all those years as he got older, without Qui-gon not having been able to use any of the Jedi’s resources to free her up for his 'son’s sake either!

(on the other hand, it might have been a bit awkward for Qui-gon to explain to Yoda and Mace why she was hanging around the temple so much, if he’d done so…) 😉

It’s true and I won’t even mention or revisit her in part two either 😕

On Greivous’s voice, I love the new voice acting but I believe it sounds to human to fit the design, so maybe a slight robotic filter and some other kinda badass filter should be applied to be more fitting and cooler sounding. Maybe play around with it a little. Love it so far, great stuff!

Thanks! I didn’t see your reply earlier but yes I am going to add a pretty cool filter to his voice as well as clean up the background noise.

Quick question, why are you changing Mace Window’s lightsaber back to blue?

Because I don’t like the purple saber and the blue one makes him look way cooler 😃

All-Star Superman 3.5/10

You’re one of the few people I’ve ever seen rate this series so low.

(I have never read All-Star Superman, BTW, so I’m not making a criticism here.)

I’m definitely in the minority but I feel it didn’t really have one narrative or any real structure, I prefer comics that are less bloated and actually build up to something but this had so many characters, villains, and subplots that I just stopped caring. The art and writing were good though, don’t get me wrong there.

Some people do some shit where you put tape on the inside but I find that to be fucking stupid. Fill the bowl with a little apoxy to make the stick tighter, what happens is the stick grinds away bits of plastic out of the bowl so if you put some apoxy or glue to fill the bowl back in, it’ll be better but be careful not to fill it too much and let it dry. As for reassembly, just look it up on youtube I guess.
